I am getting a hand sized web of what look like fine white cracks on the roof of my Black '95 Z28.
I think it may be more than just problems with the paint. I realize that the roof is SMC. Has anyone else seen this before, or have a method to repair the roof panel? A search on roof cracking didn't find anything on this board. Thanks Z28 |

I know you have a 4th gen, but every 3rd gen that I seen that has been raced for any real length of time has cracks in the roof. If it's on a metal part of the roof you can get to the back side of the crack and weld along the crack. Most of the time this bubble your paint real bad in that area, but that is the only way to "fix" a crack. If you do weld it, concentrate on the tip of the crack and where it started, the middle is less important.
